Chapter 1721 God and Demon in One Body
"Is this the power of that spark?"
The moment the Spirit Source Fire Seed was obtained, an extremely warm and gentle divine essence flowed into the limbs and bones through the illusory palm of the ancient spirit god Ling Hao.
That power was so pure that it contained not a trace of impurity, just like the primordial origin of heaven and earth at birth.
It nourished the ancient spirit's originally illusory body, which was almost merging into chaos.
"Such power is truly astonishing!"
At this moment, the ancient spirit god could clearly feel that the power within his body was rising wildly. In just a few breaths, he had already recovered to his peak power, or even surpassed it.
At his peak, he was only a half-step Supreme Emperor, but now, with the blessing of the Spiritual Source Fire, his aura continues to rise, and the chasm between the half-step Supreme Emperor and the Supreme Emperor has begun to show a crack.
I imagine it won't be long before I can completely break through this realm!
Without the slightest hesitation, He immediately sat cross-legged at the top of the ancestral altar, formed hand seals, and began to refine the spiritual source fire seed with all his might.
Countless ancient runes of the Spirit Race surged from his body, enveloping the wisp of fire within them. The fire pulsed even more joyfully, and strands of purer spiritual energy were drawn from it and merged into his divine essence!
The ancestral statues of the Spirit Clan on the ancestral altar seemed to sense the surge of primordial power, and a faint golden light appeared in their eyes!
As the refining process deepened, Ling Hao's aura became increasingly terrifying, and the supreme pressure of the Emperor began to slowly spread, sweeping across the entire ancient forbidden land!
The ancient gods and demons' remains, piled up like mountains, began to tremble under this oppressive force. The weathered runes on the bones lit up, and then shattered into powder under the extreme pressure.
The chaotic mist was dispersed by this force, and the spacetime rift in the forbidden land began to tremble violently, as if it would collapse at any moment!
Just as his fingertips were about to touch the realm of the supreme emperor, a trace of extremely subtle black demonic energy suddenly emerged from that pure spiritual power, silently flowing into his body!
That was the manifestation of his deep-seated obsession!
The Spirit Source Fire Seed is the purest source power of the Spirit Race, and it cannot tolerate any impure thoughts or hostility. Ling Hao's resentment, greed, and obsession had already taken root in his body. Now, nourished by the power of the fire seed, those negative emotions transformed into demonic nature and began to intertwine with the power of the Spirit Source!
Ling Hao also felt a sharp pain in his body, as if his mind and body were being pricked by needles. He frowned slightly, thinking it was a normal backlash from refining the fire seed. He immediately activated all his divinity to forcefully suppress the pain and devour the power of the spiritual fire seed even more frantically.
But the more this happened, the more the demonic nature and the spiritual power became completely intertwined, seemingly inseparable forever. Even the originally pure divine essence began to be polluted little by little!
Within that pale golden spiritual light, wisps of pitch-black demonic energy gradually seeped in. On Ling Hao's divine body, half was covered with dazzling spiritual patterns, and the other half with ferocious demonic patterns. The black and white intertwined, making it appear eerie and grotesque!
Even his eyes changed from their original gold to half scarlet and half golden. The pressure emanating from his body also changed from pure divine pressure to a terrifying pressure that was a mixture of spirit and demon, causing the surrounding space to shatter inch by inch.
……
Meanwhile, beyond the Nameless Void, above the Nine Heavens.
Three figures walked through the air!
The three moved at incredible speed, tearing long streaks through the sea of clouds beneath their feet, and even the stars along the way paled in comparison to their presence!
The Evil Emperor and the Demon Emperor followed beside him. After several years of recuperation, their auras, though not fully recovered, had stabilized considerably. Looking at the calm and composed Song Yu beside them, their eyes still betrayed their shock.
"We're still 300,000 miles from the Vast Ancient Forest. Something's off about that place; it seems like the remnants of the Spirit Race are spying on us," the Evil Emperor suddenly said, his voice cold and a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes.
His evil clan was already hated by the spirit clan because of the Primordial Spirit Technique, and had been harassed by the remnants of the spirit clan for years. Now that he and the Demon Emperor had been away for some time, they must have taken advantage of the situation to invade.
Song Yu nodded slightly, his fingertips twitched, and an initial rune silently spread out, instantly covering an area of 30,000 miles. The image of the Xie Cang Xie Clan appeared clearly in his mind.
Sure enough, outside the Xie clan's territory, there were dozens of Spirit Clan cultivators loitering around, with the leaders all at the Dao Limitless Realm!
Although the Xie clan has undergone a complete transformation and its strength has been greatly enhanced, only Xie Cang has reached the Dao Limitless Realm!
"A few clowns, nothing to fear."
Song Yu spoke calmly, about to activate the runes to annihilate those spirit race cultivators, when suddenly a strong feeling came from the direction of the ancient forbidden land, carrying a rich aura of the spirit race's origin, as well as a trace of extremely familiar initial rule fluctuations. However, those fluctuations were mixed with an extremely terrifying demonic nature.
"This is... an ancient spirit god?"
Song Yu paused, stunned.
At that moment, the Evil Emperor and the Demon Emperor also felt that terrifying pressure. Their expressions changed drastically. "The aura of an unparalleled emperor! This ancient spirit god has actually taken that step with the help of the spiritual source fire?"
"Not only that, he has also mastered the art of being both a god and a demon!"
Song Yu's expression was solemn. Clearly, the ancient spirit god had become even more powerful than before. After all, not everyone could achieve the unity of god and demon.
Even his cultivation level has completely entered the mid-stage of the Supreme Emperor realm!
Such terrifying strength was simply beyond their ability to cope with.
Unless all three of them can reach the realm of supreme emperor, they will have no choice but to flee in disarray when facing the ancient spirit god!
"Never mind that. We are no match for those ancient spirit gods. Take your people and leave first. Let them enter your small world!"
The Evil Emperor quickly realized what was happening and, without hesitation, reached out and grabbed, instantly suppressing the Dao Limitless Realm expert below with a surge of power!
"Come with me immediately!"
As the Evil Emperor's voice faded, he opened his own little world without hesitation, "Hurry up and come in!"
Hearing the Evil Emperor say this, no one dared to hesitate any longer. Led by their clan leader Xie Cang, they immediately flew towards the Evil Emperor's small world.
"We need to return to the Temple of the Evil God first; things have gotten out of my control!"
For the first time, the Evil Emperor showed a rare hint of solemnity. Even in his previous strongest form as a Spirit God, he had already foreseen this!
However, the fact that the ancient spirit god had stepped into the realm of supreme emperor was far beyond his expectations!
What's more, the ancient spirits and gods were actually both gods and demons!
"We need to hurry!"
He gave Song Yu a deep look, and without hesitation, led his people away from there.
Let's part ways for now!
The Demon Emperor said that they dared not linger here. The ancient spirit god was now in a position to easily defeat any one of them. Encountering him would mean certain death!
"Ah."
Song Yu didn't dare to delay and immediately disappeared from the spot!
……
Before the sacred tree!
The handsome young man sat quietly on the stone wall in front of him, watching the divine tree sway. His eyes remained calm, as if he had a premonition.
"Having become a demigod, a demon?"
The God of All Things curled a strange smile at the corner of his mouth, "Hehe..."
"Judging by the time, it should be about right!"
"The power of the Spirit Race shall all belong to my hands!"
He waved his hand lightly, and the space behind him shattered instantly. A girl then walked out of the space.
"Greetings, young master!" the girl said softly.
"Hmm, have you prepared everything I asked you to?"
"Reporting to the young master, everything you desire is contained within this box!"
As the girl spoke, she held a black box in both hands and handed it to the God of All Things.
"Yeah, good job."
The God of All Things casually took the box. "This game is almost over. The only possible change is on the side of the Evil God. Hopefully, he'll behave himself!"
"If he doesn't behave, go over and tie him up!"
The God of All Things slightly raised his eyes, his tone utterly indifferent.
"Understood!" the girl nodded.
The God of All Things waved his hand impatiently, "Once He is completely stable, I will go and absorb His power. In this way, I can both eliminate a major threat and... completely step into the realm of the Supreme Emperor!"
"'Rules,' haha, you'd never guess what kind of terrifying god you've offended!"
The God of All Things sneered, his figure gradually becoming ethereal, and soon he disappeared beside the divine tree!
Meanwhile, in the ancient forbidden land of the Spirit Race!
Ling Hao's divine and demonic body solidified completely, and the golden and black intertwined spiritual light soared into the sky. The supreme pressure of the mid-stage Emperor crushed the entire forbidden land inch by inch, causing chaos to surge and time and space to fold layer upon layer.
"From this day forward, I shall be the Lord of both spirits and demons. All beings below me shall be mere ants!"
Before the words were finished, a figure, ethereal yet exuding boundless power, suddenly stepped out from the void rift behind the ancestral altar.
The God of All Things was dressed in plain clothes, his handsome features were completely calm, only the faint, eerie smile at the corner of his mouth made the gray aura around him even more strange.
But he stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze lightly falling on Ling Hao, as if looking at something he already possessed: "The Lord of Spirits and Demons? He's nothing more than a vessel I've nurtured."
"You dare to scheme against me!"
Ling Hao reacted, his body surging with golden and black spiritual light. He struck the God of All Things with a palm, the palm wind condensing the life force of the Spirit Clan's origin and the annihilation force of demonic nature. It was so fierce that even space itself was directly shrunk by the blow.
But the God of All Things didn't even move a step. He simply raised his hand and casually flicked it. The earth-shattering palm force crashed into an invisible gray barrier and shattered instantly. The force of the backlash forced Ling Hao to retreat repeatedly, and the spiritual and demonic patterns on his divine body began to peel off inch by inch.
